It looks like Xorg started properly, so the problem is probably elsewhere.

You do not need an xorg.conf file for xorg to work. Rename xorg.conf to xorg.conf_NOT_Needed so its not found.
If you have xdm in the default runlevel, remove it. This will stop a broken login manager from being ru.
If you have a ~/.xinitrc file, rename it too.

Now, when you startx, you just get the defaults with a USA keymap. The defaults don't give Xorg anything to do, so for our test, thats not useful either.

Code:

emerge -1 twm xterm xclock

will provide some applications for Xorg to start.

Reboot.

At the login prompt log in as your normal user. Give the startx command and report back.
You should get three xterms and am analogue clock._________________Regards,
